Which statement applies to electronegativity?

Chemistry
1 answer:
joja [24]4 years ago
4 0

Answer: Option (A) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Electronegativity is the ability of an atom to attract electrons towards itself.

When we move across a period in the periodic table then there occurs an increase in the electronegativity of the elements because of decrease in their atomic size.

This is because electrons add to the same sub-shell and due to electrostatic force of attraction from the nucleus they get pulled closer towards the nucleus leading to shrinkage in size.

And, smaller is the size of an atom more readily it will attract an electron.

Therefore, we can conclude that electronegativity increases across a period.

Which characteristic of water helps it form strong bonds with other water molecules?
Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is Polar structure. See the explanation below, please.

Explanation:

The water molecule is formed by the union of an oxygen atom (O) to two hydrogen atoms (H), forming at an angle of 105 °, having the negative electron density over the O and positive over the H. The water due to its polarity can interact with other equal molecules, by hydrogen bridge (occurs between the atom of H and an electronegative element, in this case the O). It corresponds to a type of dipole-dipole interaction.

Why is the molecular formula for a disaccharide not double that of a monosaccharide?
Firlakuza [10]
The reason the molecular formula for a disaccharide is not simply double that of a monosaccharide is because when the covalent bond is formed between the carbons of each sugar, an H of one is removed along with an OH from the other. This resulting loss of an H + OH forms H2O (water), therefore the reaction combining the two sugars covalently is called a "dehydration synthesis."
For example, in combining 2 glucose (C6H12O6) molecules, instead of it being 2 × C6H12O6 = C12H24O12, the dehydration synthesis removes 1 H2O to make room for the C-C covalent bond between the two sugars' carbons. Therefore it is 2 H's and 1 O less than that doubling, or: C12H22O11
